Limekilns on the former Cowell Ranch. The quarried limestone was dumped into the open pits from the path at the top. The square stone tower is an oil-burning "patent" kiln. This site, which was known as the "Lower Kilns," was in use until 1946. It is now part of the UCSC campus, near the Main Entrance.
